20th Anniversary of the LIFE program: A message from
Angelo Salsi (HoU E3) and Hervé Martin (HoU E4)

We would like to thank all of you who organised an event celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the LIFE programme and of the Habitats Directive. Some 340 such events were organised across the EU, which is significantly more than we had hoped for.

We were equally delighted by the creativity and enthusiasm involved. Events included site visits, conferences, picnics, school outings, LIFE birthday cakes, concerts, folk-dancing, landscape-scale LIFE logos made by human figures, and even a LIFE mountain-bike race!
You have once more shown that the best communicators on LIFE are the LIFE projects. We wish you a happy Christmas and a merry new year.

20th anniversary events

LIFE project events will take place across Europe throughout the month of May. If you are organising one we would very much like to know about it, please upload details here. You can later keep track of all events via the LIFE's 20th anniversary calendar.
